It is a lost cause... But legal, or illegal... It will always be sold and controlled by criminals. Legalized pot operations are losing money in Canada... Because nobody wants to pay exorbitant prices and then taxes on top of that for ‘legal’ pot.
Illegal pot is now selling for as low as $3 per gram... Previous to legalization it typically sold for $10 per gram... So the stupid government thought that selling it for $10+ taxes would go over well... Instead it went over like a led balloon. They are overpaying their legal suppliers and now they are stuck with dried out expensive pot that nobody wants, and they can’t sell.
Only government could make a product legal and then lose money trying to sell it.
This stupefying to see. Fifty years ago the purchase was sold by measuring how many fingers in a baggie. We bought nickel bags or dime bags, five dollars or ten dollars.
Then again cigarettes back then in North Carolina and north Georgia were only a quarter a pack.
I am glad I left that behind me, for many reasons.
